My mom lived at this facility for over 6 months and she had a great experience. The staff was very supportive and helpful. I would highly recommend putting your loved one’s at this facility they will be very grateful to be under such great care.

Reviewing as a notary public, I've been to this facility a few times over years. I am glad that the staff has a social worker on site. Reason being is that I've gone to facilities where the resident is not allowed to sign due to their mental capacity. Just like some prisons do not allow inmates to sign certain types of documents. It's for the benefit of the signer. The facility itself looked properly maintained and there was plenty of staff.

If you need to know whether it is a good idea to leave your loved at Cerritos Vista, read the inspection reports on ProPublica, the one star (out of five) review and information on Medicare.gov, and the facility employee reviews on Indeed (there is a reason that 44% of employees leave within twelve months of being hired). This place is terrible and I speak from experience. My mother was here for about twenty days late last year and it was a nightmare. I am confident that my mom would not be at home right now, getting better every day, if she came back to Cerritos Vista instead of going to a different, far better, facility. Many of the nurses were rude and acted like we were irritating them when we asked them to do something basic for my mom. The kitchen was shut down for days because of a cockroach infestation that went unchecked for weeks (don’t believe me? Read the December 2025 inspection report). The facility wasn’t very clean. The food was not good. You never knew when the physical trainers were going to show up and they didn’t stay long when they did come. You could wait for hours for your loved one to be changed if they can't go to the bathroom themselves. The gym rarely had anyone in it and that’s not an accident. If your loved one needs significant physical therapy to recuperate, do not send them here. They will improve slowly at best and will likely deteriorate due to lack of movement. The doctor that the facility assigned to my mother (who recommended this awful place for reasons I can only speculate about) was unreachable and never visited. Some people who worked there were well-meaning, but they had terrible managers, and were not properly trained. They were also understaffed. I could write a book about everything wrong with this place but the fact that people don’t want to work here should tell you everything. I’ll end this review with one final insult my family endured because of this place. My mom, who is now safely at home, was hospitalized again after coming to Cerritos Vista. The managers at Vista told us that my mom’s room would be held for seven days. About five days later, having decided Cerritos Vista was not fit for human habitation, I went back to get her things from the room. All of her things had been bagged and put into a locked office I could not get access to. There was a new resident in her room, contrary to what they promised. On my way out, some employee overheard what I said to a nurse about it, and found a way to get inside the room with her belongings and gave me some of them. We didn’t get a lot of her things back (we lost a chair, some seat cushions, two pairs of shoes, etc.) but I didn’t want to return to get them. That’s how much I dislike this place. I wouldn’t put someone I hated here. Again, if you don’t believe me, don’t take my word for it. Just read all of the information and inspection reports about this place on ProPublica and Medicare.gov.

Cerritos Vista Healthcare Center is a wonderful facility. It is well managed and very clean. The administration and all healthcare staff are attentive to their patients and treat them with love and care. My mother who is 86 years old have been in PT for the past 6 weeks due to femur injury has made significant progress in her mobility. Kudos to the PT staff. The caring and friendly atmosphere provided by all makes a world of difference to my mother. Your hard work, and patience are sincerely appreciated. Special gratitude to Eli Moesser for introducing our family to Cerritos Vista.

Our family cannot thank the team at Cerritos Vista enough for the outstanding care they provided to my aunt during her 100-day stay. From the administrative staff to the nurses, therapists, and caregivers, every single person went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, safe, and supported. The admin team was always organized, communicative, and compassionate, they made the entire admission and care coordination process smooth and stress-free. The nurses and CNAs treated my aunt with such kindness and dignity, always attentive to her needs and quick to offer a smile or comforting words. The rehab and therapy staff were equally amazing, helping her regain strength and independence while encouraging her every step of the way. You can truly tell that everyone here cares deeply about their patients’ recovery and well-being. The facility was always clean, the atmosphere positive, and the staff made sure family members were kept informed and involved. We’re incredibly grateful for the professionalism, warmth, and dedication shown throughout her entire stay. Cerritos Vista truly sets the standard for quality care in Bellflower, we highly recommend them to any family seeking a place where their loved one will be treated with compassion and respect.
